  • 16th Century Conquistadors Research Paper

    235 Words  | 1 Pages

    Some factors that best explain the success enjoyed by the 16th century conquistadors in conquering Native American empires include riding horses, wearing helmets, advanced weaponry, intimidation, strategy, and disease. Riding horses allowed the conquistadors to move fast and carry their weapons with them, causing fear in the Natives and their defeat. The conquistadors wore helmets that helped protect their heads from the Native American retaliation; this is a very vulnerable part of the body when not protected. Advanced weapons such as guns were terrifying to the Native Americans instilling fear in them and put them at a disadvantage in fighting off the conquistadors. Conquistadors were also armed with very perfected swords that were much

    We are not our true selves. In fact, most of us don’t even realize this until much later in life when disaster strikes and we must face the harsh reality. We must face the harsh reality that for most of our life, we do not know who we are and we are not who we are meant to be. In reality, we are not the most-developed versions of our selves during times of joy and happiness.

With Islam’s large spread across Africa, Asia, Europe, and continual spread in the Middle East, empires like al-Andalusia and Ghana arose in the West and the Ottoman and Mughal arose in the Eastern part of the world. Islamic beliefs and values shaped these empires similarly to how Christianity became the leading influence in Europe. Moorish rule in the Western Muslim society of Spain lasted for seven hundred years and clean and lavish cities created under their rule served as a contrast to the

  • Summary Of Matthew Restall's Seven Myths Of The Spanish Conquest

    900 Words  | 4 Pages

    Matthew Restall’s Seven Myths of the Spanish Conquest and the documentary version of Jared Diamond’s Guns, Germs, and Steel explore reasons behind the success of the Spanish Conquest. Restall argues against the traditional assumptions about the identity of conquistadors. Conquistadors were not “exceptional” men or members of the king’s army; rather, they were independent entrepreneurs who succeeded by following patterns of conquest and colonization. Restall points out that these entrepreneurs were frequently assisted in military operations by indigenous peoples and Africans, resisting viewing the Conquest as a victory of whites over natives. Next, Restall argues against traditional assumptions about the nature of the Conquest itself.

    Juan Ponce de León[1] (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈxwan ˈponθe ðe leˈon]; 1474 – July 1521)[2] was a Spanish explorer and conquistador. He became the first Governor of Puerto Rico by appointment of the Spanish crown. He led the first known European expedition to La Florida, which he named during his first voyage to the area in 1513. Though in popular culture, he was supposedly searching for the Fountain of Youth, there is no contemporary evidence to support the story, which is likely a myth.[3] Ponce de León returned to southwest Florida in 1521 to lead the first large-scale attempt to establish a Spanish colony in what is now the continental United States. However, the native Calusa people fiercely resisted the incursion, and de León was seriously
